Comparison

TherapyNotes alternative when your biller files the claims

TherapyNotes is behavioral-health EHR software at $69 a month solo or $79 plus $50 per added clinician, with non-clinical staff free, electronic claims at 14 cents each and basic telehealth included. MegAligna is an alternative for practices whose biller files the claims or who run cash-pay: a lower rate per added clinician, and no claim filing.

The two numbers that decide it

TherapyNotes’ price has two moving parts once you pass one clinician: $50 a month for each added clinician, and 14 cents for every electronic claim (the same rate applies to remittance records and eligibility requests). Schedulers, billers and other non-clinical staff are free, so headcount on the admin side does not matter.

That makes the comparison narrow and checkable. If your practice files its own claims through TherapyNotes and is happy doing so, the claim fee buys something we do not offer, and you should stay. If a biller already files claims from their own system, you are paying $50 a head for clinicians whose billing happens elsewhere.

Four group sizes, monthly

TherapyNotes Solo is $69; Group is $79 for the first clinician plus $50 for each added one. Ours is $20 per active clinical seat with a $99 monthly minimum. Neither column includes TherapyNotes’ per-claim fees or add-ons.

A solo therapist pays less at TherapyNotes: $69 against our $99 minimum, before claim fees. From three clinicians up the order reverses, and the gap grows by $30 with every clinician you add.

  • 1 TherapyNotes charges 14¢ per electronic claim. MegAligna exports superbill and CMS-1500 data for your biller to submit, which is a different billing model rather than an equivalent one.
  • 2 TherapyNotes includes basic telehealth on every plan, with a premium tier at $15 a clinician. Here, sessions are scheduled and billed as telehealth, but the practice brings its own HIPAA-covered video service.
  • 3 Not a difference: TherapyNotes lists free non-clinical staff on its Group plan.
  • 4 TherapyNotes advertises customizable note templates but does not name these formats on its notes page. Here you build the note layout from your own fields, the signing, co-signing and addendum lifecycle is shipped, but the named formats are not preset for you yet.
  • 5 TherapyNotes offers reports showing which prior authorizations need renewing; counting units against an authorization at the moment of booking is not described.

For the move itself, switching from TherapyNotes covers what the importer accepts, what happens to historical notes and treatment plans, and the order to cut over in.

Common questions

What does TherapyNotes cost in 2026?
$69 a month for a solo practice, or $79 for the first clinician plus $50 for each additional one on the Group plan, effective from the billing cycle after December 1, 2025. Electronic claims are 14 cents each, and add-ons such as premium telehealth, ePrescribe and the TherapyFuel AI tools are extra.
Our biller files claims from their own system. Do we still need TherapyNotes billing?
Probably not, and that is the case this product is for. Your biller gets a free seat here and pulls per-session CSV and claim-form data in the format they ask for, with per-payer NPI and modifier rules held as configuration.
Which notes and treatment plans come across in a move?
Demographics and appointments import via CSV; historical notes and plans arrive as attached documents rather than structured data. Export a complete record set while your TherapyNotes account is still active.
